I want to see some technology-previews of GNOME 2.8 and I decided to test the Hal/DBUS in combination with the gnome-volume-manager.
I’ve set up my Laptop using udev and I was really suprised. It works nice and you don’t need any entry in the fstab. These things were all automatically managed by the hal-daemon (hald). With gnome-volume-properties you can adjust the settings, what should be done, if you plugin a audio-CD for example.
Short manual for Gentoo-Users:
emerge gnome-volume-manager
echo “sys-apps/dbus” >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
echo “sys-apps/hal” >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
echo “gnome-base/gnome-volume-manager” >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
emerge gnome-volume-manager
rc-update dbus default
Setting up udev
Being sure, that devsfs is inactive.
grep DEVFS /usr/src/linux/.config
grep ^RC_DEVFSD /etc/conf.d/rc
RC_DEVFSD_STARTUP=“no”
shutdown -r now
After reboot
Configure the behaviour with gnome-volume-properties and force gnome-volume-manager to start at GNOME-Loading with gnome-session-properties
Thats it!
